If there is an intellectual core in President Donald Trump’s 2019 State of the Union speech, it came in the section on undocumented immigration. In it, Trump cast the country as divided between elites and the working class, with Trump on the side of the working class and Democrats as the champions of the elites.

Why would an immigrant want to change the culture of his adopted country to recreate the culture he fled?
So are this nation's elites (Zuckerberg,Obama,etc,etc) and that's why *they* have 30 foor high walls around their multi million dollar estates.
Sez the imaginary journalist...
Why fling this dung on the wall?
It is necessary to have a vision of your ideal, because dwelling on past mistakes as a basis for government usurpation of our freedoms is a path to tyranny.
Why post this crap? It’s a waste of time.
I’m not reading any negative stuff on our president or his speech or listening to egg heads like the bald@ss California Congressman from California last night who claims the Trump economy was inherited from Obama.
It is not their culture they are running from, they let some dictator get in by promising them a free hand out and when it don’t happen they start raising hell and they become his enemies.
Undocumented immigration? LOL. Illegal entry is the correct term.
That's an easy one.*My* ancestors (and,I'll bet,yours too) knew that there was no welfare,no food stamps,no Medicaid,no free cell phones and no Section 8. IOW they knew that if they didn't work,they'd starve.And they knew that the best chance they had of financial security was to become *Americans*.
I am one generation removed from Europe.My parents both grew up in a slum during the Depression.They worked damn hard and,by the time I was born,had made it to the suburbs.Thanks to this great country,and my parents' hard work,I've had a great life....and now the Rat Party is trying to deny our grandkids that same life.
I've been to "The Old Country".A more drab,depressing cesspool you couldn't imagine.I'm thankful that my ancestors had the courage to come here. P>And ten bucks says that that same story applies to 99% of Freepers.
Zach Beauchamp, whoever he is, doesn’t know S4!& from S4!n@L*.
Every fake racism accusation is an ode to an imaginary America.
The elitists telling hard working Americans that WE live in a fantasy world
Right, I'm sure if millions and millions of Latin Americans moved to an Asian country like Japan, its people would love them.
Usual leftard lie. In the context of a free rational capitalist country, there is no conflict of rational self-interests, and when the rich get wealthier, the masses get wealthier too. An increase in inequality is irrelevant.
The only reason the economy survived under Obama was in spite of his Marxist methods. The American spirit of free enterprise is a hard thing to kill. If given a chance it will flourish. Imagine how incredible it really could be if the leaches could be removed.
And Vox’s pining for Socialism isn’t a fantasy vision of the USA?
The author basically proves Trumps points.
Yes, and that doesn’t even take into account the COST of the illiterate, law breaking, disease ridden parasites.
I did LOVE when POTUS was talking about the elites and their walls/fences to keep their own homes secure.
Muslims do it all the time. Flee their 4th world sh*tholes and then endeavor to turn their new homeland onto burkas, sharia law and separationn of the sexes.
